Ruben Amorim speaks out on Benfica’s alleged interest | OneFootball

The name of Ruben Amorim continues to be highly regarded within Benfica, but a possible return is not part of his plans at the moment. Despite having recently gone through a less successful spell at Manchester United, the coach intends to continue his career abroad.

The 41-year-old manager is focused on assessing the opportunities that may arise outside Portugal and is calm about the possibility of starting next season without a club. His priority is to choose a competitive project, with no rush to return to Portuguese football.

In addition to professional matters, there is also a personal factor keeping Ruben Amorim away from a possible scenario at the Luz. The connection and admiration he has for José Mourinho, who supported him at the start of his coaching career, weigh heavily in this decision.

In that sense, the coach does not intend to get involved in any situation that would mean replacing the Special One, refusing to be seen as someone who could contribute to the departure of Benfica’s coach. His loyalty to the manager weighs heavily in his decision to stay away from that context.

On the other hand, at Benfica there are, for now, no signs of a break with José Mourinho. Although a contract renewal is not imminent, the coach’s continuation does not seem to be in doubt, and any decision about the future may be postponed until the start of next season.
